A tight-lipped Greg Norman
is negotiating to run a tournament on the US PGA Tour.
However, it won't be easy for The Shark to assume control of an official money
US PGA Tour event, as the American tour is thriving.
Norman's company, Great
White Shark Enterprises, already runs the Shark Shootout, a US PGA Tour-sanctioned
event held in November but it's an unofficial money, hit-and-giggle affair.
"We've got a few irons
in the fire," he told AAP.
"We're speaking to people
who have come to us expressing interest. Stay tuned. Things will happen."
Asked whether he wanted
to run tournaments to make money, or because it's something he enjoys, he said:
"Both. It's a business obviously but I've enjoyed the Shark Shootout, giving
a lot of money back to charity."
PGA Tour public relations
chief Bob Combs dismissed the possibility of Norman's company running an official
money event as "speculation".
Combs said that the tour's
schedule was full, and that there was no room for a new tournament.
However, he admitted it
might be possible for Norman's company to take over an existing tournament.
